-</h2>
-<p>A first analysis of the data analysed here was presented in a recent
-journal article on nonlinear mixed-effects models in degradation
-kinetics <span class="citation">(Ranke et al. 2021)</span>. That
-analysis was based on the <code>nlme</code> package and a development
-version of the <code>saemix</code> package that was unpublished at the
-time. Meanwhile, version 3.0 of the <code>saemix</code> package is
-available from the CRAN repository. Also, it turned out that there was
-an error in the handling of the Borstel data in the mkin package at the
-time, leading to the duplication of a few data points from that soil.
-The dataset in the mkin package has been corrected, and the interface to
-<code>saemix</code> in the mkin package has been updated to use the
-released version.</p>
-<p>This vignette is intended to present an up to date analysis of the
-data, using the corrected dataset and released versions of
-<code>mkin</code> and <code>saemix</code>.</p>

-<p>Residue data forming the basis for the endpoints derived in the
-conclusion on the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of
-dimethenamid-P published by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in
-2018 <span class="citation">(EFSA 2018)</span> were transcribed from the
-risk assessment report <span class="citation">(Rapporteur Member State

-<p>The data are <a href="https://pkgdown.jrwb.de/mkin/reference/dimethenamid_2018.html">available
-in the mkin package</a>. The following code (hidden by default, please
-use the button to the right to show it) treats the data available for
-the racemic mixture dimethenamid (DMTA) and its enantiomer
-dimethenamid-P (DMTAP) in the same way, as no difference between their
-degradation behaviour was identified in the EU risk assessment. The
-observation times of each dataset are multiplied with the corresponding
-normalisation factor also available in the dataset, in order to make it
-possible to describe all datasets with a single set of parameters.</p>
-<p>Also, datasets observed in the same soil are merged, resulting in
-dimethenamid (DMTA) data from six soils.</p>

-<p>The population curve (bold line) in the above plot results from
-taking the mean of the individual transformed parameters, i.e. of log k1
-and log k2, as well as of the logit of the g parameter of the DFOP
-model). Here, this procedure does not result in parameters that
-represent the degradation well, because in some datasets the fitted
-value for k2 is extremely close to zero, leading to a log k2 value that
-dominates the average. This is alleviated if only rate constants that
-pass the t-test for significant difference from zero (on the
-untransformed scale) are considered in the averaging:</p>

-<p>While this is visually much more satisfactory, such an average
-procedure could introduce a bias, as not all results from the individual
-fits enter the population curve with the same weight. This is where
-nonlinear mixed-effects models can help out by treating all datasets
-with equally by fitting a parameter distribution model together with the
-degradation model and the error model (see below).</p>
-<p>The remaining trend of the residuals to be higher for higher
-predicted residues is reduced by using the two-component error
-model:</p>

-</h3>
-<p>Instead of taking a model selection decision for each of the
-individual fits, we fit nonlinear mixed-effects models (using different
-fitting algorithms as implemented in different packages) and do model
-selection using all available data at the same time. In order to make
-sure that these decisions are not unduly influenced by the type of
-algorithm used, by implementation details or by the use of wrong control
-parameters, we compare the model selection results obtained with
-different R packages, with different algorithms and checking control
-parameters.</p>
-<div class="section level4">
-<h4 id="nlme">nlme<a class="anchor" aria-label="anchor" href="#nlme"></a>
-</h4>
-<p>The nlme package was the first R extension providing facilities to
-fit nonlinear mixed-effects models. We would like to do model selection
-from all four combinations of degradation models and error models based
-on the AIC. However, fitting the DFOP model with constant variance and
-using default control parameters results in an error, signalling that
-the maximum number of 50 iterations was reached, potentially indicating
-overparameterisation. Nevertheless, the algorithm converges when the
-two-component error model is used in combination with the DFOP model.
-This can be explained by the fact that the smaller residues observed at
-later sampling times get more weight when using the two-component error
-model which will counteract the tendency of the algorithm to try
-parameter combinations unsuitable for fitting these data.</p>

-<p>Note that a certain degree of overparameterisation is also indicated
-by a warning obtained when fitting DFOP with the two-component error
-model (‘false convergence’ in the ‘LME step’ in iteration 3). However,
-as this warning does not occur in later iterations, and specifically not
-in the last of the 5 iterations, we can ignore this warning.</p>
-<p>The model comparison function of the nlme package can directly be
-applied to these fits showing a much lower AIC for the DFOP model fitted
-with the two-component error model. Also, the likelihood ratio test
-indicates that this difference is significant as the p-value is below

-<p>The corresponding SAEM fits of the four combinations of degradation

-<p>The AIC values based on importance sampling and Gaussian quadrature
-are very similar. Using linearisation is known to be less accurate, but
-still gives a similar value.</p>
-<p>In order to illustrate that the comparison of the three method
-depends on the degree of convergence obtained in the fit, the same
-comparison is shown below for the fit using the defaults for the number
-of iterations and the number of MCMC chains.</p>
-<p>When using OpenBlas for linear algebra, there is a large difference
-in the values obtained with Gaussian quadrature, so the larger number of
-iterations makes a lot of difference. When using the LAPACK version
-coming with Debian Bullseye, the AIC based on Gaussian quadrature is
-almost the same as the one obtained with the other methods, also when
-using defaults for the fit.</p>

-<p>A more detailed analysis of the dimethenamid dataset confirmed that
-the DFOP model provides the most appropriate description of the decline
-of the parent compound in these data. On the other hand, closer
-inspection of the results revealed that the variability of the k2
-parameter across the population of soils is ill-defined. This coincides
-with the observation that this parameter cannot robustly be quantified
-for some of the soils.</p>
-<p>Regarding the regulatory use of these data, it is claimed that an
-improved characterisation of the mean parameter values across the
-population is obtained using the nonlinear mixed-effects models
-presented here. However, attempts to quantify the variability of the
-slower rate constant of the biphasic decline of dimethenamid indicate
-that the data are not sufficient to characterise this variability to a
-satisfactory precision.</p>
